Aspiring Writer

When in the public school system I wasn’t much of a scholar, but I did like to learn. So after my mandatory sentence at Grand Forks Secondary School, I got a job and told myself I was never going to school again. Within five years I started night school.

Moving away from home when I was young, too young for some, I grew up in the big city. Vancouver, BC had the jobs, the night life, and more life lessons than I ever wanted or needed.

I don’t want to tell you I’ve written all my life or that it started with poems in high school, journals throughout my twenties and well beyond. I don’t want to say it because every little fish says it, or something close to it. What is sad, is all that writing didn’t help me when I wanted to go public.

Learning very specific skills, helped me. Reading every book I could find on how to write an intriguing story, helped me. Joining an online critique group, and writing a blog, tweeting, and posting to Facebook, helped me.

It’s taken a long time to get this far and I suppose it will take longer still to grow into what some might call a bigger fish. I have the time, and the support to try, but I never forget this quote: There’s always a bigger fish—Star Wars Phantom Menace

Wow you won Nanowrimo! I’ve always wanted to do it but never had the courage to. Hahaha. Stephen King’s On Writing = ♥. I haven’t finished it yet though. I listened to the audiobook and just got to the ear puncture part. XD

Thank you for stopping by my blog, it’s great to meet you! Congrats on Nano, very exciting! I haven’t participated, but I did write my 3rd book in just 3 weeks, so I’m thinking I *might* give Nano a try this year since I know I can physically/mentally do it. I love the Stephanie Plum series too, and I maintain that Castle is pretty much the best show on TV right now. Oh, and I’m from Ontario – always nice to meet a fellow Canadian! 🙂

I am a writing hobbyist, and I look forward to seeing what you have to offer the world on page or in digital 0101. I hope to also make it one day, but until then I will soak up the embellishments and exploits of others 🙂 If you have some extra time, I would love to hear what you have to think of some of my work! I like listening to my peers and taking whatever advice I can 🙂 🙂 🙂
